Avontura

Inverde started the project ‘Avontura’ in October 2004, in collaboration with the Ministry of the Flemish Community.

Avontura aims to sensitize the outdoor sports guides to a more nature-friendly sports conduct. In order to be able to do so, Avontura offers a manual and a training package. Being active outdoors in a nature-friendly way is not always obvious. Preventing damaging nature is the issue. In order to do so, outdoor sportsmen should not see nature as an enormous outdoor sports complex, but they must be aware of the do’s and don’ts in the different areas. In developing the manual and the training package we considered it necessary to find out at first ‘how’ outdoor sportsmen relate to nature. Research was done; the results of which form the basis for the further development of the project.

In a second phase the Avontura manual and training package were developed for guides of outdoor sports activities. The aim is to inform them on all aspects of nature-friendly outdoor sports activities.
